Specification of Letters Patent.

SINK.

Patented Feb. 18, 1913.

To @ZZ whom, it may concern Be it known that I, GOTTLTEB ZUBER, a citizen of the United States, residing at the city of St. Louis, State of Missouri, have invented a certain new and useful Sink, of which the following is such al full, clear, and exact description as will enable any one skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification.

My invention relates to a sink adapted to be used in connection with a bar, soda fountain or other place where beverages are dispensed.

One of the objects of my invention is to so arrange the various receptacles forming the work-board of the sink that the same may not only b-e moved into different positions to change the arrangement o-f the work-board but may also be independently removed so as to give ready access to the sink trough for cleaning and repairing.

In the accompanying drawings which illustrate one form of sink made in accordance with my invention, Figure 1 is a top plan view.; Figs. 2, 3 and 4 are detailed views showing the receptacles removed from the sink trough; Fig. 5 is a vertical cross section and Fig. 6 is a vertical longitudinal section.

Like marks of reference refer to similar parts in the several views of the drawings.

10 represent end boards which form the support for the sink. These end boa-rds 10 are connected by means of a front board 11 and a rear boa-rd 12, the rear board 12 being of greater height; this is clearly shown in Fig. 5 of the' drawings.

Secured to the ends 10 and the front and rear boards 11 and 12 is the sink trough 13 which is made of sheet metal. It will be noted that the under face of this trough 13 is not covered with wood and consequently it is readily repaired in case of a leak being sprung at vany lplace in the trough. EX- tending forwardly from the upper edge of the front board 11 is a horizontal ledge 14 adapted to receive tumblers or other glassware. The inner edge of this ledge 14 is provided with a guide-way and a similar guide-way formed on the face of the rear board 12. These guide-ways are adapted to receive the various receptacles which form the work-board of the sink as will be hereinafter more fully described.

15 represents a metallic plate to which is secured a bowl or basin 16 for washing glass-ware. This basin 16 has formed in it an opening 17 for the outlet of water. This opening 17 may be closed by an ordinary cork or other stopper. The plate 15 is also provided with a removable receptacle 18 which is adapted to contain cracked ice. This removable receptacle 1S may be closed by means of a cover 19 as shown in the right hand end of Figs. 1 and 6. The plate 15 may be slid in the guide-ways heretofore described so-that it may be placed in any position along the sink trough.

20 is a grating adapted to receive glassware which has been washed so as to allow the water to drain off into the sink trough. This grating 20 like the plate 15 is removable and is also slidable in the guide-ways above referred to.

In addition to the plates 15 and the gratings 20, two of each of which are preferably used, as shown in the drawings, I also provide a cooling receptacle 21. This receptacle 21 like those above referred to, is re movable and also slidable in the guide-ways. The upper face of this receptacle 21 is provided with openings 22 adapted to receive bottles. It also has removably placed in it an ice container 23' shown in detail in Fig. 4. This ice container is provided with wire screens 25 as shown in Figs. 4 and 6. The container 23 is adapted to be lifted out of the part 21 by means of handles 26. A folding cover 27 is provided for the ice container 23. The cooling chamber 21 is preferably provided with a wooden floor 29, as shown in Fig. 6, upon which both the bottles and the ice receiver 23 rest.

It will be evident that the various receptacles forming the work-board of my sink may be arranged in any manner desired and that they can also be entirely removed from the trough so as to not only be readily cleaned themselves but also to give access to the trough for either cleaning or repairing the same.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is:

1. The combination with the end boards,

.of a front board, a rear board, a metallic trough carried by said boards and having the under face of its bottom exposed and a plurality of receptacles supported from the 'upper part of said trough, said receptacles receptacles supported from the upper part of said trough, said receptacles being removable to give access to the interior of the trough.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and aiiixed my seal in the presence of the tWo subscribing Witnesses.
